Lottery Predictions - Cycles and Flexibility

On December 11,2009, I started a Lottery Predictions series of post with Lottery Predictions, Ghostly Patterns and Chaos Theory. This entire series of post is a must read for any serious lottery player as it lays out the entire play list development process. This is the seventh post in that series and demonstrates just how dynamic and flexible Cycles really are.

As shown in the last post, including adjacent Cycles can assist in covering the possibility of any Chaotic behavior that might be going on in your lottery. But, Cycles are so flexible that you can automatically include adjacent Cycles. So, in this post I’ll introduce you to the concept of Span.

In the last post, we looked at the graphs of three Cycles, Cycle 14, 15 and 16. But, we don’t have to do that. We could look at just one graph that is a combination of all three. This would be called Cycle 14-16. This Cycle is said to have a Span of three; it includes three Cycles in one graph. Below is a graph of Cycle 45-47, the best Cycle with a Span of three for the Lotto Texas lottery. The last drawing occurred on February 6, 2010.

Lotto Texas Cycle 35-47

Cycle 45-47 has produced 1.93 hits per drawing on the average over the lottery’s history and will provide 14 numbers to our play list. Randomly selecting 14 numbers would only produce 1.56 hits per drawing on the average. Therefore, Cycle 45-47’s performance is 24% better than random number selection. Not bad!

Not only does this point out the enormous flexibility of Cycles but also it’s power. How many of you would have ever expected, let alone spend the man months of analysis necessary to make this discovery, that Cycle 45-47 would have been the best performing Cycle for Lotto Texas? That’s the beauty of LONA. She leaves no stone unturned to find out what’s really going on in your lottery.

This is just another example of how LONA can provide you with information to improve your chances of winning the lottery.

Lottery Predictions - Cycles Prove There Is Something Going On

In my last three posts, Lottery Predictions, Ghostly Patterns and Chaos Theory, Lottery Predictions - So Close and Yet Not Very Far Away and Lottery Predictions - Cycles Prove There Is Something Going On have been setting the stage for this post. If you are joining this thread for the first time or if you just want to review, I recommend you return to these posts before you proceed.

For the sake of this discussion, suppose Larry Lotto discovers that Cycle 15 is the best producer of winning numbers in his lottery. So, he includes the numbers from Cycle 15 in his play list for the next drawing. At first, he is dismayed when none of the numbers from Cycle 15 hit. However, after looking at a graph of Cycle 15’s performance over the lottery’s history he see’s that it doesn’t always perform above average and sometimes produces no winning numbers at all. And, yet, it is the best performing Cycle. Perhaps some hidden cyclical shifting of the trend is taking place.

Let’s hypothesize. Cycle 15 means that numbers tend to repeat themselves every 15 drawings. But, what if the trend is somewhat fluid and follows some pattern that varies slightly from drawing to drawing similar to the Lorenz Attractor discussed in the last post. Perhaps different Cycles share the top honors of producing the most winning numbers. In the following example, notice how the Cycle that is the top producer changes slightly for drawings 60 through 71.

Drawings → 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 etc.
Top producing Cycle → 15 15 16 15 14 13 16 15 15 15 14 17

The performance of the top Cycle is not exactly periodic but it is not random either. It is somewhere in between; performance similar to the Lorenz Attractor - described in Chaos Theory.

Knowing that this behavior is taking place can help you improve your play. How? Instead of playing Cycle 15, play Cycle 14-16. Include the winning numbers from Cycles 14, 15 and 16 in your play list, to cover all the bases, so to speak. By doing this, your lottery predictions can produce more winning numbers for your play list more often.

In the next post, I’ll show you a graphical example of how this can improve your chances of winning the lottery.
